Description

Ty'r Banc is a symmetrical terrace house built around 1830, consisting of two three-storey, three-bay houses that are designed as a reflected pair. The exterior features an ashlar facade with a continuous shallow-pitched slate roof and plain, rendered end chimneys. A central stack marks the division between the two houses, which is cleverly concealed on the facade by an advanced gabled bay that has blind windows.

Melbourne House, located on the right, retains its original slightly-recessed sash windows, which consist of 12 panes on the ground floor, 9 panes on the first floor, and 6 panes on the upper floor. These windows are adorned with narrow stucco architraves and projecting slate cills. In contrast, Ty'r Banc has modern replacement windows with 15, 12, and 6 panes respectively. There are slate steps leading to a 19th-century four-panelled door at Melbourne House, which features a decorative rectangular fan above. Ty'r Banc has an out-of-character modern glazed door. Both houses have two modern basement windows, except for Ty'r Banc, which retains an original 6-pane window. To the right of Melbourne House, a narrow passage leads to a boarded cellar door located diagonally beneath its right-hand window.

To the left of Ty'r Banc, there is a late 19th-century open stone porch supported by Doric columns. This porch has a plain entablature with the inscription 'Bank' in raised letters and a moulded cornice. Stone steps lead up to a contemporary four-panel door flanked by engaged columns. A coped dwarf step parapet is present on the right side, but missing on the left. Connecting the porch to Meirion House is a high, rough-dressed, snecked rubble wall with a central entrance; a modern boarded door provides access to an alley.

Ty'r Banc has group value with other listed items in Church Square.
